870F5F22915DFFF1FC7A7E2EC1976DF7.taxon	discussion	REMARKS Considering the characters of the type species of the genera Teramocerus, Acratus and Proteramocerus, including characters of the internal sac of the aedeagus, it is obvious that these three names designate the same group of species. For this reason, I propose the following new synonymies: Acratus Lacordaire, 1865, n. syn. for Teramocerus Schoenherr, 1840, and Proteramocerus Kleine, 1921, n. syn. for Teramocerus Schoenherr, 1840. Kleine (1938: 126) erroneously considered Belorhynchus gracilis Boheman, 1833 as the type species of Teramocerus. However, Schoenherr (1840: 557) had fixed T. janthinus as the type species by original designation. In the genus, species are listed as follow: first, the type species T. janthinus; then, species are grouped following the affinities revealed by the phylogenetic analysis.

REMARKS Dissection and examination of the holotypes of Proteramocerus emendatus and P. eminens revealed conspecificity of these two specimens with Teramocerus janthinus, their genitalia being very similar, especially the shape of the proximal hook-like sclerite of the internal sac. Externally, the holotype of P. eminens represents a brownish variation; P. emendatus is a teratological case with the tooth at apex of elytra not well developed and directed downwardly. For these reasons, I consider Proteramocerus emendatus Kleine, 1927, n. syn. for Teramocerus janthinus Boheman, 1840 and P. eminens Kleine, 1927, n. syn. for T. janthinus Boheman, 1840. I was not able to examine the holotype of Proteramocerus villens as it was not found in MZSP (C. Costa pers. comm.) Only a male paratype was available (Fig. 1 E); dissection of genitalia left no room for doubt about conspecificity of this specimen with Teramocerus janthinus. So, despite I could not examine the holotype, I am proposing here the following new synonymy: Proteramocerus villens Soares & Dias, 1971, n. syn. for Teramocerus janthinus Boheman, 1840. The citation of T. janthinus from Cayenne, French Guiana, is doubtful. Indeed, with the help of SEAG, I was able to examine large series of recently collected brentids from French Guiana but no specimen of this species has ever been collected there. The two citations are old records from collections of Dejean and Chevrolat, and the specimens were probably collected in another place in South America. The citation from Bolivia must also be taken with caution. Indeed, all the other records are clearly from Eastern Brazil (except for the very doubtful ones from French Guiana) and the distribution for this species is probably limited to this area; T. janthinus is probably not present in the Amazonian Basin.

REMARKS Types of Brenthus acutipennis and Teramocerus obscurus present the same characters as those of the type of Arrhenodes opacus and then they must be considered as conspecific. For this reason, I propose the following new synonymies: Brenthus acutipennis Boheman, 1833, n. syn. for Arrhenodes opacus Perty, 1832 and Teramocerus obscurus Perroud, 1853, n. syn. for Arrhenodes opacus Perty, 1832. Arrhenodes opacus is a species sharing several characters with Teramocerus janthinus: mesorostrum and metarostrum of males together are much longer than prorostrum, the scutellum is deeply foveate, the elytra have no hole or deep depression at base at the place of insertion on mesonotum, the apex of elytra has one tooth, the femora are strongly pedunculate, the first metatarsal segment is longer than broad, the penis is tapered at apex with short temones, and the internal sac has one hooklike sclerite. For all these reasons, I consider these two taxa as congeneric and I propose the following new combination: Teramocerus opacus (Perty, 1832) n. comb. Acratus opacus is similar to T. janthinus but may be distinguished by the usually very different coloration pattern. In T. janthinus, males have numerous setae under the rostrum reaching the base of prorostrum. Females of T. janthinus may be distinguished, apart from pattern of coloration, by a usually smaller apical elytral tooth. Teramocerus badius Boheman, 1840 comb. rev.

REMARKS The concept of Acratus suturalis as understood by previous specialists (Richard Kleine, Benedicto Soares) was erroneous and refers to a completely different species (probably not yet formally described), sharing no characters with Acratus [see the key, description and drawings given by Soares (1970)]. Identifications made by these authors in the collections must be carefully verified as all those I checked were not correct. I examined the female holotype of Trachelizus helmenreichii Redtenbacher, 1868 preserved in NMW. This taxon was synonymized with Acratus suturalis by Kleine (1927 b). Out of the metallic sheen of elytra, the holotype of T. helmenreichii shares no synapomorphies with Teramocerus and represents clearly a species very distinct of T. suturalis n. comb. and I remove it from synonymy. It is morphologically similar to Nemobrenthus aeneipennis Sharp, 1895 and it is then transferred to the genus Nemobrenthus Sharp, 1895, leading to the following new combination: Nemobrenthus helmenreichii (Redtenbacher, 1868) n. comb.

Metarostrum carinate on sides, without median groove but with longitudinal carina along its entire length. Eyes fairly large, shorter than temples. Head elongated, slightly wrinkled on rear part, foveate between eyes. Sides of head and metarostrum with few sensorial pores. Venter of head with two lines of sensorial pores converging forward towards metarostrum. Metarostrum, mesorostrum and base of prorostrum with numerous small sensorial pores with quite long setae, confusingly arranged, without smooth median area. Venter of prorostrum not carinate.

Thorax. Elytra not depressed at base of interstria 5; first elytral stria well marked along entire length, second shallower, not really reaching the base of elytra and forming one row of punctures on rear part; stria 9 well marked in posterior half, wide and punctated at apex, forming indistinct punctures in front. Apex of each elytron with one tooth formed by interstriae 1, 3, 9 and 11 (interstria 3 joining interstria 9). Prosternum not depressed in front of bulging procoxae, with few large pits in front of them. Mesothorax punctated on sides and in front of mesocoxae.

Tegmen with parameroid lobes elongate, lobate, with quite numerous apical setae (Fig. 13 A). Internal sac with one large hook-like sclerite with swollen base (Fig. 13 A). REMARKS This species is closely allied to Teramocerus eletus. Indeed, it shares with it almost all the characters described above. It differs mainly by the segment 8 of antenna with numerous short setae (few short setae in T. eletus), the shape of the elytral apex (interstria 3 connected to interstria 9), the metatarsi 2 more weakly carinate, the abdomen with setae and, above all, by the absence of a cluster of small aligned spicules more or less arranged in a bowl, the wall of the internal sac without micro-spicules. Females Female unknown to me. REMARKS Because of the synonymy of Proteramocerus with Teramocerus, and because of the characters of male genitalia, P. appendiculatus is transferred to Teramocerus, leading to the following new combination: Teramocerus appendiculatus (Soares & Scivittaro, 1972) n. comb.	en	Mantilleri, Antoine (2015): What is Teramocerus Schoenherr, 1840?

870F5F229153FFF0FEC97F68C5856C48.taxon	description	DESCRIPTION Males The holotype, only specimen known to me, is in poor condition: head and prosternum are completely missing. I give below the description of the remaining part of the body. Measurements. Length of elytra: 11.2 mm; width across humeral calli: 2.1 mm. Elytra golden green, sutural interstria and legs reddish (Fig. 5 E). Thorax. Elytra hardly depressed at base of interstria 5. Apex of each elytron ending in one large dorso-ventrally flattened and rimmed tooth, formed by interstriae 9 and 11, interstria 3 not connected to 9. Mesothorax punctate on sides; mesanepisternum and mesepimeron with large punctures. Metanepisternum with row of small and shallow punctures hardly distinct. Legs with mesocoxae, metacoxae and trochanters bearing few setae; femora strongly pedunculate, not depressed laterally, glabrous except metafemora with few hairs below at base. Tibiae quite long, hairy on inner side; apex of metatibiae with one short calcar on inner side. First tarsal segment longer than 2 - 3 together; first metatarsomere strongly elevated, very narrow, carinate (Fig. 10 I-J); segment 2 as long as broad. Abdomen. Abdomen (Fig. 10 K) with sternites III-IV glabrous, smooth except punctures in front part of sternite III along metacoxae, without longitudinal median depression; sternite VII with fine setae. Tegmen with parameroid lobes rounded at apex, with few setae (Fig. 13 E). Internal sac with one proximal hook-like sclerite, swollen at base, walls of the internal sac without small spicules (Fig. 13 E). Females Female unknown to me. REMARKS Because of the synonymy of Proteramocerus with Teramocerus, and because of the characters of male genitalia, P. zellibori is transferred to Teramocerus, leading to the following new combination: Teramocerus zellibori (Soares & Dias, 1971) n. comb.	en	Mantilleri, Antoine (2015): What is Teramocerus Schoenherr, 1840?

Metallic green except rostrum, base of pronotum and elytral sutura reddish. Habitus: Fig. 6 A. Head. Prorostrum much shorter than metarostrum and mesorostrum together. Mesorostrum elevated, longitudinally grooved. Metarostrum not grooved, with weak median carina, weakly carinate on sides. Eyes quite large but shorter than temples. Head smooth, tapering backwards, with inter-ocular fovea; collar constriction well marked. Sides and venter of head with few pores. Sides of metarostrum with few pores, venter with two longitudinal rows of small sensorial pores weakly pubescent, hardly reaching base of mesorostrum, without median carina or grooves. Venter of prorostrum smooth. Antennae. Antennae with segments 2 - 8 longer than broad, subconical, with long setae; 9 less than 1.5 × longer than 8. Thorax. Pronotum more than 2 × longer than broad, not punctate. Elytra depressed at base of interstria 5. Apex of each elytron as one large dorso-ventrally flattened and rimmed tooth formed mainly by interstriae 9 and 11. Prosternum with few large punctures in front of bulging procoxae, area in front of procoxae depressed. Mesothorax with few punctures on sides; mesanepisternum punctate; mesepimeron with deep confluent punctures. Metanepisternum with row of punctures. Legs with mesocoxae, metacoxae and trochanters bearing few setae; femora strongly pedunculate, not depressed laterally, glabrous except metafemora with few hairs below at base. Tibiae quite long, hairy on inner side; calcar on inner side at apex of metatibiae quite acute. First tarsal segment shorter than 2 - 3 together; segment 2 longer than broad. Abdomen. Abdomen with sternites III with very thin hair, IV glabrous; sternites III-IV smooth, with quite large and shallow longitudinal median depression. Tegmen with parameroid lobes rounded at apex, with few setae (Fig. 14 B). Internal sac with one proximal hook-like sclerite truncate at apex, and most rearward with few spicules (Fig. 14 B). Females I am not able to attribute with certainty any of the female examined to this taxon, and I was not able to examine any of the two female paratypes. REMARK Because of the synonymy of Proteramocerus with Teramocerus, and because of the characters of male genitalia, P. pulcher is transferred to Teramocerus, tleading to the following new combination: Teramocerus pulcher (Soares Dias, 1971) n. comb.	en	Mantilleri, Antoine (2015): What is Teramocerus Schoenherr, 1840?

Head smooth, tapering backwards, with inter-ocular fovea; collar constriction well marked. Sides and venter of head with few pores. Sides of metarostrum with few pores, venter with two longitudinal rows of small sensorial pores weakly pubescent, sometimes reaching base of prorostrum, without median carina or grooves.

Pronotum more than 2 × longer than broad, not punctate. Elytra weakly depressed at base of interstria 5. Apex of each elytron as one large dorso-ventrally flattened and rimmed tooth formed mainly by interstriae 9 and 11. Prosternum with few large punctures in front of bulging procoxae, area in front of procoxae depressed. Mesothorax with few punctures on sides; mesanepisternum punctate; mesepimeron with deep confluent punctures. Metanepisternum with row of punctures. Legs with mesocoxae, metacoxae and trochanters setose; femora strongly pedunculate, not depressed laterally (except profemora), glabrous except metafemora with few hairs below at base. Tibiae quite long, hairy on inner side; apex of metatibiae with acute calcar on inner side. First tarsal segment shorter than 2 - 3 together; segment 2 longer than broad. Abdomen. Abdomen with sternites III-IV glabrous, smooth, with quite deep and narrow longitudinal median depression. Tegmen with parameroid lobes rounded at apex, with few setae (Fig. 14 C). Internal sac with one proximal hook-like sclerite acute and not truncate at apex, and most rearward with few spicules (Fig. 14 C). Females I am not able to attribute with certainty any of the female Teramocerus examined to this taxon. SPECIES INCERTAE SEDIS Two additional species may be part of Teramocerus: Proteramocerus micans Kleine, 1921 and P. nitidus Kleine, 1921. The type series of these two taxa were already on loan to another person and it was impossible, despite several requests, to have any information or even pictures of these specimens. Both descriptions by Kleine (1921) do not allow knowing the identity of these taxa. Nothing contradicts that they belong to Teramocerus, but also nothing proves it as there is no information about the shape of the scutellum, the base of elytra and the genitalia in the original descriptions. Kleine (1927 c) reports P. micans from Costa Rica; as T. suturalis n. comb. is the sole species of the genus Teramocerus known from this country, it is possible that P. micans is its synonym. P. nitidus seems to be quite close to P. micans. Soares & Dias (1971) cite these two species but their descriptions are only translations of Kleine’s text and give no additional information. In the collections of the MNHN, two specimens have an identification label as P. nitidus, written by R. Kleine: one is a female of T. janthinus, the other one is a male of Teramocerus mamillatus Meyer, 1959 … As usual with R. Kleine, identifications in the collections are very fanciful and completely unreliable, even for taxa described by himself. No further information about the identity of P. nitidus can be drawn from these two specimens. Taxa listed in the part material and methods (except for the two species above), and for which the types were not found, very probably do not belong to Teramocerus considering the descriptions and drawings available (Kleine 1926; Soares 1970; Soares & Scivittaro 1979).	en	Mantilleri, Antoine (2015): What is Teramocerus Schoenherr, 1840?
